all the above is v. usefull.
another way, when you've got a nice grunty twin, is to be rolling along in 2nd, lightly dip the clutch and suimultainiously roll on the throttle. this will raise the front smoothly,
1st tends to be a bit jerky/twitchy,
using this method you can start small & build up height & distance
uphill wheelies are easier
practice on off road bikes (less painfull/expensive/heart breaking if it goes pear!!)
if you can find anyone brave enough, get em on the back, it helps bring the balance point down.
im using the same gearing as you llloydy,start small & build up slowly, but be carefull where you do em, they are well addictive!!
good luck
